iExperience Narrative Assessment

Learning Area: iExperience

Learning Observed

This week the learners got to have an interesting experience. They had to work collaboratively while exploring and experiencing play with a tyre. This is part of a way that we can spark some interesting discussions and writing around a real life experience while gaining new vocabulary. Kaiariki was with her group and discussing the different ways that her and her group could move the tyre. They were very excited and the new vocabulary that came out of this was great to hear. Kaiariki asked a lot of questions about the tyre. One of the questions were what are these marks for. We discussed that the marks are called tread and it's to help the tyre grip to the road.

Evidence of learning

Kaiariki and her group were testing their tyre.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

“Collaboration” was one of the vision principles that were being used during this activity. “Curious” was another vision principle that was being used as the learners had a lot of questions.

Next Learning Steps

Kaiariki’s next learning steps are: create some writing about her experience to use her new vocabulary.

Learning Observed

For iExperience we are playing soccer. We are developing our capabilities in collaboration through team sports. In this session we were learning to pass the ball to a buddy and ‘Trap’ the ball. ‘Trapping’ is when you stop the ball rolling by placing your foot on top of the ball. This skill is to help gain control of the ball before you pass. Kaiariki in this session showed great capabilities. At the start of the session she struggled with this skill as it is a new skill that she was learning. But by the end of the session she was able to trap the ball for control and pass the ball to her buddy with the correct part of her foot.

Evidence of learning

Kaiariki is making sure that she using the correct part of her foot to kick the ball with.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this session Kaiariki was showing the Key Competency “Relating to others” as she was participating in a group activity with a person who may have picked up the skill either faster or slower than them. She had to help, encourage and work with her partner. Kaiariki was showing “Capabilities” as these skills were new to her and she had to develop them during the session. Also “Collaborative” was being shown as during the session she was working the whole time with a buddy.

Next Learning Steps

Kaiariki next learning steps are: to use these new skills during a practical situation. to be able to perform these skills while moving.

Narrative Assessment - Literacy: Writing

Learner: Kaiariki                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan             Date: 2 June 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Our writing focus today was about creating recounts about our weekend. Together the learners discussed their weekend and identified what they wanted to write about. I was working alongside Kaiariki to identify the keywords that were needed to add to her story about going to the movies. She was able to tell me lots about her weekend and seeing Sivkheng. Together we created a success criteria (what I need to have to be successful) and Kaiariki suggested that we need to include finger spaces and capital letters as part of our to be successful list. Kaiariki went away and began writing. When she returned we read her work together checking the success criteria as we went. Kaiariki had monitored her writing to ensure she was including all the required elements and had correctly used all four of our success criteria! Great managing self learning Kaiariki!

Evidence of learning

Kaiariki came up with 2 of the 4 ‘must haves’ on our success criteria.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Kaiariki has been developing the school vision principle of capable as she has spent time working towards developing both new and existing skills. She has also be displaying the key competencies of managing self, thinking and using language, symbols and texts. Kaiariki has displayed thinking skills as she recalls and extends her knowledge about writing (using language, symbols and texts) and has demonstrated her ability to manage her learning through the success criteria.

Next Learning Steps
